Note: I adjusted the measurement to make it smaller so it looks more proportional for my son.

(7) Shirt & Pant

It’s going to be the same methodology for both shirt and pant.

Pick a shirt that fits your baby well.

Trace the outline of the shirt to pattern paper. (I loosely followed the instructions from this YouTube tutorial to create my pattern.)

Make any necessary adjustment to the pattern as desired. Note: For this pattern, I chose a long-sleeve shirt that we already owned and changed it into short sleeve. I also narrowed the waist as the original shirt was a bit loose.

Cut out pattern in muslin and make a prototype. Make any other necessary adjustment to the pattern.

Cut out pattern in actual fabric.

Sew shirt together.

Follow the same steps for the pant.

These are definitely a lot of work, but it’s nice to be able to customize the outfit for the special day.

I hope you like the DIYs and found these simple tutorials useful for your next projects!
